Show me your box calls with boxes made out of black mineral stained poplar. I think it'd be neat to have a box call made out of black stained poplar and a black colored lid like an ebony or blackwood. Call it, Black Death.

Here's a matched set of Cost-style calls I got from Marlin about 5 years ago.

Don't know if it still holds true...........but, at that time, he said these were the only calls he ever had to inscribe with a white pen.








A misfit.........also from Marlin.......



And a paddle caller from Steve Mann......

PA elitist since 1979

The good Lord ain't made a gobbler I can't kill.  I just gotta be there at the right time.....  on the day he wants to die.

Unusual for the lid

I've heard mineral poplar is much more dense than regular poplar.
